Thankful
Kelly Clarkson, the toothsome winner of Fox TV's first American Idol competition shows that her prime-time win was no fluke. She blithely skips through octaves and genres like a seasoned pro, belting out power ballads like hooky "Low" and the Diane Warren-penned "Some Kind of Miracle," with the aplomb of Pat Benatar in her prime. Clarkson tackles the neo-gospel "Anytime" without flinching, then shows some dirty street cred as she growls through "Miss Independent," a song she penned with Christina Aguilera. But Miss Independent would be a gross misnomer; despite the fact Clarkson co-wrote four of the album's tunes. Clarkson not only had uber record exec/executive producer Clive Davis at her disposal, but an arsenal of producers and songwriters to make sure she didn't make a creative misstep. Despite Clarkson's sublime vocal talents, excessive gloss at times overwhelms the quirky charm and personality she displayed on Idol. --Jaan Uhelszki more

Thankful
After listening to the Leona Lewis cd, I decided to give Kelly's debut another listen so that I could compare the two singers. The two main differences regarding the two are that we, Americans haven't gotten to know Leona in the same way that American Idol allowed us to get to know Kelly. And...

True, enduring talent...
Kelly is one of the singers that will likely be around for the long-haul. She's truly gifted, and able to adapt her voice to the music that she is presenting. Her main weakness is that she is singing a lot of music that other people are writing. I want to see her develop her writing gifts.

Great CD!!!!
Kelly Clarkson is a great artist! I don't know why she doesn't like this album or MISS INDEPENDENT that song and this whole cd is great. I actually don't like her newer stuff i don't think that it is as great as her first!!

One good song
One good song: The trouble with love. And I already had it on the Love Actually soundtrack. Kind of a waste. I should have listened to the puking sounds my son makes every time Kelly Clarkson is mentioned. But that one good song is so good I hoped she had some others. Good voice, lots of...

Just OK
Kelly Clarkson can hit the notes and do the typical vocal acrobatics but has hardly any depth to her tone and a very goaty, uncontrolled vibrato. She begins and ends phrases well but has trouble sustaining emotion in the middle of her phrases. Good beginnings, but I got tired of the CD after a...

Kelly Clarkson, Thankful
Kelly Clarkson is a great singer, she totally rocks on "Miss Independant"and shows her much sought after talent on a variety of other styles of songs. I am very happy with the purchase of this CD. If you've heard any of her songs on the radio or t.v., you will enjoy it too.

Thankful for Breakaway
Kelly's debut album is thoroughly respectable. I'd give it a strong 3 stars, just doesn't quite have a 4-star feel. The album is like lite rock with R & B at times. Kelly's voice is the strong point of it. Notable songs:Miss Independent - biggest radio hit. Has edge and attitude. Kelly...
